As the academic publishing industry continues to adapt to a changing marketplace and declining print sales, the management of inventory needs to become an even more important focus for press management and staff.

During this webinar you’ll hear from a press director, a marketing and sales director, and CFO/operations managers from various size university presses as they discuss how the following topics relate to the academic monographs that we publish:

Setting print runs and selecting print vendors

Impact of inventory on cash flow

Accounting for inventory from the balance sheet to cost of sales

Inventory write-down

How Print-on-Demand, Short-Run Digital, and GAP program are being used to manage inventory

The panelists will discuss practical aspects of inventory management as well as present case studies and actual examples.
